[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ETC technology, and in particular to an ETC electronic automatic settlement system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the modern economy, the use of automobiles as a modern means of transportation is increasing. Traditional highway toll collection management models are no longer able to meet the growing service needs, and highway toll collection service models are gradually becoming intelligent. ETC lanes are for vehicles equipped with ETC onboard devices. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system that uses electronic toll collection.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN106952351A discloses an ETC electronic toll collection system and method for highways, including an ETC on-board application module, a user smart terminal, a CA-SIM card, and a background management terminal; the ETC on-board application module includes an ETC on-board device and an ETC intersection reader, which enables a data transmission working mode to realize unattended toll collection; the CA-SIM card transmits data to and from the ETC on-board device and the user smart terminal to realize the online payment function of the user smart terminal; the user smart terminal obtains various ETC on-board data and provides online query of on-board data; it realizes the integrated functions of review, automatic payment, and automatic data upload, integrates close-range inductive radio frequency technology, CA technology, and user smart terminal applications, and provides car owners with a set of system services for automatic payment without stopping on highways, which not only improves the management efficiency of toll stations, but also shortens parking delay time and optimizes the traffic control system.

[0004] The above patented highway ETC electronic toll collection system has the following problems in actual use:

[0005] 1. When deducting fees from the car owner, if the balance in the car owner's account is not enough to deduct the amount, the deduction will fail. If the car owner only makes a unilateral payment, it may take a certain amount of time to complete, which will cause trouble for the collection.

[0006] 2. The current ETC charging system deducts fees directly, and it is not possible to get an invoice directly on site. If the car owner needs to reimburse the communication expenses, he or she must issue an invoice by himself or herself. This not only does not increase the speed of travel, but also brings trouble to the car owner.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0056] Figure 1 This is an overall structural diagram of the ETC electronic automatic settlement system of the present invention;

[0057] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the ETC electronic automatic settlement system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing ETC settlement system is a direct deduction system and it is impossible to get an invoice directly on site, if the car owner's communication expenses need to be reimbursed, he still needs to get an invoice himself, which not only does not improve the speed of travel, but also brings trouble to the car owner, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0060] ETC electronic automatic settlement system, including:

[0061] a vehicle identification unit, configured to obtain traffic information and image information of vehicles traveling on the expressway and equipped with ETC equipment, and to send the obtained traffic information and image information to the intelligent analysis unit;

[0062] An ETC integrated unit is used to identify the license plate of a moving vehicle and obtain the ETC device of the moving vehicle, obtain the owner and vehicle information based on the ETC device, and send the identified vehicle license plate and ETC device to the intelligent analysis unit;

[0063] An intelligent analysis unit is used to perform data analysis on the acquired vehicle traffic information and image information as well as the vehicle license plate and ETC equipment. By analyzing the vehicle traffic information and image information, the vehicle's driving trajectory is accurately located, the vehicle toll is calculated based on the vehicle's driving trajectory, and the vehicle communication fee information is sent to the fee settlement unit. By analyzing the vehicle license plate and ETC equipment, the vehicle for which fee settlement is required is determined, and the fee settlement is performed on the vehicle through the fee settlement unit;

[0064] The fee settlement unit is used to automatically deduct money from the vehicle reserved account based on the calculated vehicle toll, and after the fee settlement unit successfully settles the money, push an electronic invoice to the mobile phone number and APP retained in the deduction account.

[0065] Specifically, the vehicle identification unit obtains the traffic information and image information of vehicles traveling on the highway and equipped with ETC devices, and the ETC integrated unit identifies the vehicle license plate and obtains the ETC device of the traveling vehicle. The vehicle identification unit and the ETC integrated unit send the obtained information to the intelligent analysis unit. The intelligent analysis unit analyzes and determines the vehicle to be settled and the settlement fee based on the received information, and sends all the information to the fee settlement unit, which deducts the money, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic settlement and providing car owners with the service of automatic payment without stopping on the highway. It not only improves the car owners' travel speed and shortens the car owners' parking time at the toll station, but also improves the charging efficiency of the highway toll station, avoids too many vehicles crowding at the toll station, and optimizes the traffic control system of the highway.

[0066] In one embodiment, the invoice generating unit includes:

[0067] An integration module is used to obtain user data and transaction data from the settlement information, and integrate the user data and transaction data according to the data format of the electronic invoice template to obtain target data;

[0068] a generating module, configured to determine a correspondence between the target data and the electronic invoice template, and write the target data into the electronic invoice template based on the correspondence to obtain an initial electronic invoice;

[0069] A verification module is used to verify the information of the initial electronic invoice based on the data association between the target data, and calculate the content verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice according to the following formula;

[0070]

[0071] Wherein, K represents the content verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice, H A Indicates the data attribute value corresponding to a random data type in the initial electronic invoice, H B represents the data attribute value corresponding to a random data type in the initial electronic invoice, and H A With H B The data types are different, n represents the number of data types in the initial electronic invoice, H0 represents the data attribute value corresponding to a random data type in the initial electronic invoice, H i It represents the data attribute value corresponding to the i-th data type after removing the data type corresponding to H0, T AB Indicates that H A and H B The data association value of the target data related to the data type, m represents the data association group between the target data, and the target data under any two data types are a group, T j The data association value representing the jth data association group between target data;

[0072] The format verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice is calculated according to the following formula;

[0073]

[0074] Where G represents the format verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice, s represents the number of electronic invoice templates filled, δ a Indicates the attribute value of the ath filling position of the electronic invoice template, D a Indicates the attribute value of the target data written to the a-th fill position, τ a Indicates the compatibility coefficient of the ath filling position of the electronic invoice template, with a value of (1, 5);

[0075] When both the content verification coefficient and the format verification coefficient meet the standard invoice requirements, the initial electronic invoice is successfully verified and serves as the final electronic invoice;

[0076] Otherwise, the initial electronic invoice verification fails, and the initial electronic invoice is modified according to the verification result.

[0077] In this embodiment, the content verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice is used to determine whether the content in the electronic invoice is consistent with the data association between the target data. When generating electronic invoices in batches, there may be problems such as inconsistency caused by misplaced filling, such as the license plate information is not equal to the owner information, or is not equal to the settlement fee.

[0078] In this embodiment, the format verification coefficient of the initial electronic invoice is used to determine whether the content in the electronic invoice is correctly written into the corresponding position of the invoice template, for example, the fee information is written into the vehicle owner information.

[0079] In this embodiment, the value range of the data attribute value corresponding to the data type is related to the data type. For example, the value range of the data attribute value of the first data type is (0, 1), and the value range of the data attribute value of the second data type is (1, 2), but the overall value is (0, 10). The specific data attribute value is related to the data content. The value of the data association value is also related to the corresponding two data types, and the overall value is (0, 100).

[0080] In this embodiment, H0 is random and can be H A It can also be H B , or other data types.

[0081] In this embodiment, for the calculation of formula (1), a group is randomly selected for matching and after the matching is successful, the total amount is directly verified. After the verification is passed, it can be directly determined that the data association between the content in the electronic invoice and the target data is consistent, thereby improving the efficiency of content verification.

[0082] In this embodiment, the more options there are for the ath filling position of the electronic invoice template, the greater the corresponding compatibility coefficient.

[0083] In this embodiment, the attribute value of the filling position is set in the same manner as the attribute value of the target data, and is determined according to the data characteristics of the written standard data, and the values ​​are (0, 1).

[0084] The beneficial effect of the above design scheme is: due to the large number of vehicles on the highway, a large number of TC electronic automatic settlements are generated every day. If invoices are generated one by one, the efficiency of electronic invoice generation will be slow. This scheme provides a method of batch generating electronic invoices using electronic invoice templates to solve the problem that the slow efficiency of electronic invoice generation causes users to not receive electronic invoices for a long time. In addition, the content and format of the initial electronic invoices are verified during the batch generation process to ensure the accuracy of the electronic invoices, meet the communication fee reimbursement needs of car owners in a timely manner, and improve car owners' satisfaction.

[0085] Vehicle identification unit, comprising:

[0086] Monitoring equipment used to obtain traffic information and image information of vehicles equipped with ETC equipment;

[0087] ETC identification module, used to identify vehicles equipped with ETC equipment.

[0088] The vehicle identification unit specifically implements the following operations:

[0089] Multiple monitoring devices are distributed on the main line of the expressway and on the toll plaza. Each monitoring device is equipped with an ETC recognition module. Vehicles equipped with ETC devices are identified based on the ETC recognition module, and the vehicle's passage information and image information are then obtained through the monitoring device.

[0090] Specifically, multiple monitoring devices are distributed on the main line of the expressway and on the toll plaza. First, the ETC recognition module is used to identify vehicles traveling on the main line of the expressway and on the toll plaza to determine whether the vehicle is equipped with an ETC device. If the vehicle is identified as being equipped with an ETC device, the vehicle's passage information and image information are collected through the monitoring device. When the vehicle is driving, the monitoring devices it passes by will collect information about the places the vehicle passes by. The monitoring devices will send all the acquired passage information and image information to the intelligent analysis unit for analysis to calculate the vehicle's toll.

[0091] ETC comprehensive unit, including:

[0092] a license plate recognition module, for recognizing the license plates of vehicles entering the toll plaza and sending the recognized license plates to the intelligent analysis unit;

[0093] The ETC sensing module is used to scan and sense the ETC device on the vehicle. The ETC device is generally installed on the front windshield of the vehicle. The ETC device contains the owner information and vehicle information.

[0094] The ETC integrated unit implements the following operations:

[0095] When a vehicle enters the toll plaza, the license plate recognition module identifies the vehicle's license plate. At the same time, the ETC sensing module scans and senses the vehicle's ETC device and lifts the barrier to let the vehicle pass. The identified license plate and the obtained ETC device are both sent to the intelligent analysis unit.

[0096] Specifically, when a vehicle enters the toll plaza, the license plate recognition module first identifies the vehicle's license plate. At the same time, the ETC sensing module scans and senses the vehicle's ETC device and lifts the barrier to release the vehicle. Scanning and sensing can obtain the owner's information and vehicle information. The owner's information is the account registered on the ETC device. The vehicle information is all the vehicle's entry and exit information in and out of the highway. The entry information includes the entry point and entry time, and the exit information includes the exit point and exit time. Finally, the identified license plate and the obtained ETC device are sent to the intelligent analysis unit for analysis to determine the settlement vehicle and settlement account.

[0097] Intelligent analysis unit, including:

[0098] The analysis module is used to compare and analyze the vehicle license plate identified by the ETC integrated unit with the image information obtained by the vehicle identification unit, determine the paying vehicle based on the comparison and analysis, analyze the traffic information and image information obtained by the vehicle identification unit, accurately locate the vehicle's driving trajectory based on the analysis, analyze the vehicle ETC equipment obtained by the ETC integrated unit, and determine the payment account based on the analysis.

[0099] The billing module is used to calculate the vehicle's toll. According to the vehicle's driving trajectory accurately located by the analysis module, the billing module connects to the network to analyze the vehicle's driving trajectory, calculates the vehicle's toll based on the driving trajectory, and sends the calculated toll information to the fee calculation unit for deduction.

[0100] Specifically, the analysis module first identifies the vehicle license plate, obtains the vehicle traffic information and image information corresponding to the license plate, and further compares and analyzes the license plate and image information to determine the settlement vehicle. The obtained traffic information and image information are analyzed, and the vehicle's driving trajectory can be accurately located through analysis. The obtained vehicle ETC device is analyzed, and the payment account is determined based on the analysis. The vehicle's driving trajectory is further analyzed through the billing module, and the vehicle's driving route and driving distance are analyzed, so that the billing module calculates the vehicle's toll according to the vehicle's driving trajectory. Finally, the calculated toll information is sent to the fee calculation unit for deduction.

[0101] Fee settlement unit, including:

[0102] The deduction module is used to deduct money from the ETC device reserved account based on the toll information calculated by the intelligent analysis unit.

[0103] The bill module is used to generate corresponding electronic invoices for vehicles that have completed deductions based on the deduction fees and vehicle information, and push the generated electronic invoices to the account reserved by the ECT device.

[0104] Specifically, based on the toll information received, the amount to be deducted is determined. After the deduction amount is determined, the deduction module directly deducts the corresponding communication fee from the payment account based on the payment account determined after analysis. After the toll is successfully deducted, the ticket module generates a corresponding electronic invoice based on the license plate information and the distance and fee information of this passage. The ticket module pushes the generated electronic invoice to the ETC account. The electronic invoice can be downloaded and saved by the car owner, and the car owner no longer needs to issue the invoice by himself, which brings convenience to the car owner.

[0105] To solve the problem that the existing ETC electronic automatic settlement system fails to deduct the fee from the car owner due to insufficient balance in the car owner's account or the amount of the deduction, and the car owner has to pay the fee unilaterally, which may take a certain amount of time to complete and cause trouble for the collection, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0106] Debit module, including:

[0107] The early warning module is used to issue an early warning message when the deduction is not successful. When the deduction module fails to successfully deduct the vehicle's communication fee, the deduction module generates an early warning signal. The early warning module sends an SMS early warning message based on the early warning signal to remind the toll collector that the deduction is not completed.

[0108] The supplementary deduction module is used to make a second supplementary deduction on vehicles that have not completed the deduction. When the deduction module fails to deduct the vehicle's communication fees for the first time, the deduction module generates supplementary deduction information and sends it to the supplementary deduction module. The supplementary deduction module implements a second supplementary deduction measure on the vehicle based on the supplementary deduction information.

[0109] Specifically, when the deduction module fails to complete the toll deduction in the first attempt, the deduction module simultaneously generates an early warning signal and a supplementary deduction message, sends the early warning signal to the early warning module, and sends the supplementary deduction message to the supplementary deduction module. Based on the received early warning signal, the early warning module sends a text message early warning message to the staff, reminding the toll collector that the deduction has not been completed. The text message early warning message contains the vehicle license plate and toll information. The supplementary deduction module implements a second supplementary deduction measure on the vehicle based on the supplementary deduction information. If the second supplementary deduction is not successful, it will be deducted again until it is successful. Vehicles that complete the communication fee settlement through supplementary deduction will also generate an electronic invoice containing the license plate information, the distance information and the toll of this trip, after the supplementary deduction is completed, and it will also be pushed to the ETC account. The settings of the early warning module and the supplementary deduction module can not only remind the toll collector that the deduction has not been completed during the initial deduction, but also implement a second deduction on the vehicle through the supplementary deduction module to complete the deduction directly, effectively avoiding the problem of vehicle owners unilaterally making supplementary payments and bringing convenience to ETC automatic settlement.

[0110] Working principle: The vehicle identification unit is used to obtain the traffic information and image information of vehicles traveling on the highway and equipped with ETC equipment. The ETC integrated unit is used to identify the vehicle license plate and obtain the ETC equipment of the traveling vehicle. The vehicle identification unit and the ETC integrated unit send the obtained information to the intelligent analysis unit. The intelligent analysis unit first uses the analysis module to analyze the identified vehicle license plate, obtain the vehicle traffic information and image information corresponding to the license plate, and further compares and analyzes the license plate and image information to determine the settlement vehicle. The obtained traffic information and image information are analyzed to accurately locate the vehicle's driving trajectory. The obtained vehicle ETC equipment is analyzed, and the payment account is determined based on the analysis. The vehicle's driving trajectory is then analyzed through the billing module to calculate the vehicle's toll, and finally the billing The calculated toll information is sent to the fee calculation unit, and the fee calculation unit implements the deduction through the deduction module. When the deduction module is successful, an electronic invoice is directly generated and pushed to the ETC account. When the deduction module fails to complete the deduction, it sends an early warning signal to the early warning module to remind the toll collector that the deduction is not completed, and sends the supplementary deduction information to the supplementary deduction module. The supplementary deduction module implements secondary supplementary deduction measures on the vehicle according to the received supplementary deduction information until the direct supplementary deduction is successful, and also pushes the corresponding electronic invoice to the ETC account after the settlement is completed. This ETC electronic automatic settlement system not only implements secondary deductions on the vehicle through the supplementary deduction module, avoiding the problem of unilateral supplementary payment by the owner, which brings convenience to the ETC automatic settlement, but also can push the electronic invoice to the owner in time after the settlement, without the need for the owner to issue the invoice by himself, which brings convenience to the owner.

[0111] In one embodiment, the supplementary deduction module includes:

[0112] a reason determination module, configured to obtain deduction failure information after determining that the deduction module fails to deduct the toll of the vehicle for the first time, and to analyze the deduction failure information to determine the reason for the deduction failure;

[0113] A time determination module, configured to determine the execution time of the supplementary deduction to be a first time when the reason for the deduction failure is determined to be insufficient balance in the reserved account, and to determine the execution time of the supplementary deduction to be a second time when the reason for the deduction failure is determined to be an abnormality in the deduction execution process;

[0114] A time adjustment module is configured to obtain historical ETC deduction records for the user corresponding to the vehicle, obtain supplementary deduction records based on the historical ETC deduction records, determine the number of secondary supplementary deductions and the success rate of the secondary supplementary deductions, determine a supplementary deduction weight for the current supplementary deduction based on the number of secondary supplementary deductions and the success rate of the secondary supplementary deductions, and perform weighted processing on the supplementary deduction execution time based on the supplementary deduction weight to obtain a target supplementary deduction time;

[0115] A task generation module, configured to generate an automatic deduction strategy based on the vehicle's toll and the deduction execution time, and generate a deduction task based on the automatic deduction strategy and add it to the deduction amount table;

[0116] The secondary deduction module is used to execute the secondary deduction measures based on the deduction amount table and determine whether the deduction is successful;

[0117] If yes, remove the supplementary deduction task from the supplementary deduction amount table to complete the supplementary deduction operation;

[0118] Otherwise, the supplementary deduction task will be marked in the supplementary deduction amount table;

[0119] The task update module is used to extract the unfinished supplementary deduction tasks in the supplementary deduction amount table according to the marking results, and update the supplementary deduction tasks based on the reasons for the failure of the second supplementary deduction to obtain the latest supplementary deduction tasks, replace the original supplementary deduction tasks with the latest supplementary deduction tasks, obtain a new supplementary deduction amount table, and issue another warning to complete this supplementary deduction operation.

[0120] In this embodiment, the more times the secondary deduction is made, the lower the success rate of the secondary deduction is, the greater the corresponding deduction weight is, and the longer the target deduction time interval is.

[0121] The beneficial effects of the above design scheme are: after the vehicle's toll is not deducted for the first time, the reason for the deduction failure is determined, and a reasonable second deduction time is set according to the reason for the deduction to ensure the success rate of the second deduction. At the same time, the supplementary deduction task is eliminated after the second deduction operation is completed to avoid multiple deductions and bring a bad experience to the user. At the same time, after the second deduction fails, the supplementary deduction task is modified and updated according to the reason for the failure to facilitate the deduction again. Ultimately, the problem of unilateral supplementary payment by the car owner is avoided, which brings convenience to ETC automatic settlement.
